  • I suppose it depends what you want the effect to be @KajiKita! The effect I get from it is feeling like I've done some small movement in a way that is more controlled than usual yoga, as my hypermobile body will bend until it breaks! Having said that, I can still do myself a damage in a chair, but it at least feels like I've bothered to try to be a bit active without being stupid (which is my usual go-to 😁)
    Whenever I make time to do it I always come out feeling more relaxed and happier, or at least better able to cope, even though I usually have a little cry during it- thank goodness we're allowed to do it with cameras off

  • @dawnybabes, are you getting the knee replacement done or are you forecasting? I've often thought it might be preferable to get all the joints replaced! But since my issue is connective tissue doesn't work I don't know how well a knee/hip/shoulder replacement would actually work...
    Hope you get something from the chair yoga, good on you for giving it a go 
  • What a sunny day, hurrah

    Survey
    Usuals

    30 minute walk getting bits from aldi and using voucher to get a couple of bits from M&S, nowt much better than a freshly made baguette

    Mr PIP was helping mum and chums on the allotment so I borrowed mum's shark and vacuumed the flat. Exhausted. But god I love that shark 😂

    Receipt survey

    Bathroom and loo cleaned

    Money wrangling of survey and vinted and microwave, flat pot now over £600

    Small stroll with Mr PIP to meet mum at a local pub as she wanted to buy us drinks to thank him for his allotment assistance. Lovely time had.

    Dinner is ys posh mac cheese from the freezer with salad

    Hope everyone is having a good one x

    I’ve got one ceramic knee where I totally knackered my meniscus and my other knee is currently having steroid injections - putting it off as long as I possibly can ……. My ceramic knee was done when I was 54 so young for it. 

    My toes, ankles and knees are very hypermobile, my arms and shoulders just a bit but I crack and creak all the time 😂😂😂

    Love our Shark too, PiP. So much lighter to push around with my cronky hands.
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!

    Yes, yaaay for the sun, makes SUCH a difference 😊👏🌞🤩

    Everybody seems to rave about Sharks … Seriously considering one as our old Dison is almost dropping to bits, is flipping heavy and is SOOOO loud now …. 🤔
